Require

Students should understand circuit board design.
Students should have completed the Complex Mixed Signal Board Design course.
Students should be patient and determined to complete courses with over 10,000 interconnects and a large number of dense component routing.
For this course students should have 'Altium Designer' installed on their PC/Laptop
You don't need any prior knowledge of "Altium Designer" as we'll be doing everything from scratch.

describe

I've divided this course into #13 different sections, under each section you'll find multiple lessons:

Part 1: Discusses the requirements table and processor RK3399 datasheet in great detail.
Section 2: How to choose SDRAM (SDR/DDRX/LPDDRX)? Pin map and schematic design from Very Scratch and their datasheet.
Section 3: Details the selection and schematic design of the PMIC (power management IC).
Section 4: EMMC (Embedded Multimedia Card) Chip Selection, Pin Mapping and Schematic Design.
Section 5: WIFI/BT module selection, certification (US/EU/Canada), selection and schematic design.
Section 6: Selection of external LDO/DC-DC/Buck-Boost and its detailed schematic design.
Section 7: Schematic design of RK3399 , pin mapping and impedance planning on the schematic through network classes .
Section 8: Layer Stack up (4/6/8/12L), complete component layout planning and execute Part-1
Section 9: Component Floorplanning and Its Execution Part 2
Section 10: Component Floorplanning and Its Execution Part 3
Section 11: Floor Planning, Preliminary Layout, High Speed Design Rules and Length Matching, Power Plane Segmentation Planning, Layout Optimization Part 1
Sections 12, 13: Power Plane Planning by Section, Layout Optimization.

The main schematic blocks I designed in this course are Project Block Diagram, " Power Budget Block Diagram", "Power Supply Schematic Diagram for RK3399", "PMUIO Schematic Block for RK3399", "EMMC/PCIe/ADC Schematic Diagram for RK3399", “ EDP/MIPI-DSI/HDMI Schematic for RK3399, “Type-C/USB3.0/USB2.0 Hosts Schematic for RK3399”, “MIPI-CSI/GPIOs/I2C Schematic of RK3399”, “MII/RMII/ RGMII Schematic for GMII/ RK3399, "SDR/DDRx/LPDDRx Schematic for RK3399", "PMIC/DC-DC/LDOs/Buck-Boost for RK3399" and many more different subsections that you will learn in this course , as you can see in the curriculum sections and their lessons.

You will also learn some basic hardware design modules and you will also learn some basic modules:

Pre-schematic design module (block diagram and power budget)
Layer stacking selection and defining rules for any stacking
Different grounding techniques (signal ground, earth ground, chassis ground)
Power Distribution Network Analysis (PDN Analysis) for any PCB.
There's more to it.
Ferrite beads, ESD diodes and magnetics applications and their selection.
How to do placement and layout planning on Microsoft-Paint and more.

After completing this course, you can design any "processor board" without any simulation model and 3rd party support.

Who this course is suitable for:

People who have intermediate hardware design experience and want to learn
Those who want to learn high-speed circuit board design
People who want to learn PCB design
People who want to learn how to choose components from the millions of chips available
People who want to learn how to create boards in Altium Designer.
People who want to improve their electronic hardware design skills.
People want to learn about impedance curves, length matching, high speed design rules, complex layout, advanced layout design, etc.
